Masa Restaurant in Hannover

🌟 Tonight we enjoyed an unforgettable Afghan meal at the Masa restaurant in the center of Hannover. From the moment you step into the restaurant, the warm atmosphere sets the tone for this dining experience. We ordered lamb pilaf, grilled mushrooms and a refreshing mango lassi. The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the lamb pilaf - the lamb shank was braised to be incredibly tender and juicy, paired with fragrant spiced rice, making every bite unforgettable and perfect! The grilled mushrooms added a rich flavor to the meal, and the smoky aroma balanced the overall texture just right. And what about mango lassi? The rich fruity aroma and smooth taste make the whole dining experience a perfect ending. If you are in Hannover and want to try a unique gastronomic experience, Masa Restaurant is definitely worth a try!

It says halal, but alcohol is sold.

Get involved...I really like to eat well seasoned food, so it wasn't really my thing...Salt and pepper were missing in the food and also on the table...good selection of starters, very nice staff, value for money in any case top....

Came here on the recommendation of friends. We didn't regret it. Nice atmosphere, very friendly and courteous staff and very good food. Wasn't our last visit here. 😀

Super tasty and authentic food. The service is extremely attentive and extremely friendly and accommodating. The restaurant has lots of cute seating areas and a very nicely done outdoor courtyard area. Definitely worth one (or several) visits. Highly recommended!!

Very generous portions. Rice, lamb and the dumplings are highly recommended. You have the option to eat sitting on a chair or crouching on a carpet.

Top place with great food!! I always bring new colleagues and friends and introduce them to the wonderful Afghani Cuisine! And hopefully when person is not vegan or vegetarian.. they can try out the Kabili Pulao. 🙌🏻 A must have.

Everything is great! Definitely coming back :)

We were out enjoying the city and geocaching around town. We were starving and began looking for a place to eat. We came across the sign on the sidewalk for Masa. We walked down the alley to find the restaurant way in the back. We sat and began examining the menu. We made our decisions and ordered. We all tasted each other’s food then there was an argument at the table as to which plate was the best. The service was also great, our server Aiyou was fantastic and very attentive.

One of the few restaurants in the city that I can really recommend. I've been here twice with a group, where we ordered a variety of dishes, and everyone was extremely satisfied. Everything tasted fresh and was very well combined. Large vegetarian selection. More than fair value for money. And lastly, you get the impression that it is a restaurant that really has love and passion for food as its motivation.

The food was very, very little – I have never expected so little! It really surprised me at such high prices. I recommend my fellow Afghans not to visit this restaurant!

My sister and I are just thrilled!

Unfortunately we had to wait a very long time for our food. When we asked politely, we were told that we weren't at McDonalds. I haven't had to wait anywhere for over an hour. The drinks also took forever. Food itself was delicious.

Great restaurant! Everyone was very nice and polite! Staff and visitors are very friendly and nice! Eat a 1000/1000!🤍

Nice ambience, you can even sit on cushions and eat at small tables like the locals. The service was super fast and friendly too. The food also came very quickly and tasted absolutely delicious.

In addition to the excellent food and drinks, you feel like you're in one other world. If you are still mobile enough to sit on the floor, just give it a try. The tables are also cozy, but much more comfortable. A lovely evening

I went out to dinner with my friends and we ordered leaf dinners for six people to surprise us. The food was not only far too little, but also extremely uncreative. Unfortunately, I blindly trusted the innkeepers and paid a high bill. After checking closely, we were shocked to see that many extras were charged. For example, we were charged for two plates of lamb chops even though we only got one (23 euros). Likewise, we only received one chicken goulash but paid for two (2 x 21 euros). Never go to these scammers again!

The location is great but the food for a small child was disappointing. Price wise it was expensive. Overall it was a really bad experience. Therefore I will give a very bad review Don't recommend it to anyone...

Worse food than you think. Location is very good but the food was very little and tasteless.. There are definitely better ones than Masa. Staff was okay but like I said. That is very expensive and little...

I don't recommend the restaurant! The food wasn't tasty as it should be.

It was really delicious and excellent, the food and good treatment and everything was excellent. I suggest you try it once

Ich war mit meinen Freunden essen, und wir haben ein Blätteressen für sechs Personen bestellt, um uns überraschen zu lassen. Das Essen war nicht nur viel zu wenig, sondern auch extrem unkreativ. Leider habe ich den Wirtsleuten blind vertraut und eine hohe Rechnung bezahlt. Nach genauer Kontrolle waren wir schockiert, dass viele Extras berechnet wurden. Zum Beispiel wurden uns zwei Teller Lammkoteletts in Rechnung gestellt, obwohl wir nur einen bekommen haben (23 Euro). Ebenso haben wir nur ein Hühnergulasch erhalten, aber für zwei bezahlt (2 x 21 Euro). Nie wieder zu diesen Betrügern!

It was positively different and surprising. The food was very tasty and was a nice recommendation. You're welcome....

I've been there twice, it used to be a really great restaurant.

We sat outside in nice weather. The service was very nice and took good care of us. Except sometimes a glass or something similar was forgotten and you had to remember again, but that wasn't a big deal. The food was good enough in portions but the taste was not to my liking. But that was just my feeling. Otherwise a very cozy restaurant. Invitingly furnished.

Masa has been my absolute favorite restaurant for over 20 years. Whenever I'm in Hanover, it's an absolute must to go there. The Afghan food tastes 100% “like my mother’s” and just as I, as an Afghan, know it from home. Anyone who wants to taste authentic Afghan cuisine should definitely go. The prices are decent and absolutely fair. If I could, I would give it 10 stars! Thank you, dear Masa team, for giving me back a piece of my childhood through you!

The most friendly staff!! Atmosphere was amazing!

The food is one of the most authentic and delicious Afghan cuisine so far. The service is good and the atmosphere is family friendly. 👍 👍

It's a really bad restaurant, their food was neither quality nor ethical

Wir haben uns auf Empfehlung des Hauses vegetarische Platten zusammenstellen lassen. Das war ok, aber nicht richtig gut. Der Sekt war abgestanden, wurde nach Reklamation aber direkt umgetauscht. Wir haben draußen im Hof gesessen, das war so semi-gemütlich. Drinnen sah es nicht besser aus. Es war ok, aber zum Wiederkommen reicht es nicht.

Chic restaurant in Hanover. There are also partly covered tables and seating in the inner courtyard. Even though the city center is pleasantly quiet. Service attentive and friendly. Recommended!

Nice restaurant - it's definitely worth coming early to get a nice table outside. Except for the dessert, the food was really great - next time we would like the rice pudding as a smaller portion and without the spray cream and ready-made chocolate sauce. Staff really super friendly.

Das Essen war sehr lecker! Die drinks waren sehr gut. Super Service und die Mitarbeiter sind sehr nett. Meiner Meinung nach ist das einer der besten Restaurants in dem ich war. Die Preise sind hervorragend und die deko ist sehr schön. Meine freundin und ich saßen am Podest und es war sehr gemütlich. Ich empfehle es sehr!

1. Tolles Essen. 2. Super Service 3. Ruhige Gegend 4. Alles halal und frisch. 5. Die Dekos an den Wänden sind sehr reizend. 6.Die Preise sind hervorragend. 7. Sehr sauberes Restaurant. 8. Super Restaurant top also wirklich ich bin sehr erstaunt. Alles schmeckt so atemberaubend das ich da auch mehrmals hingehe und jedes weiteremal wird immer besser und leckerer. 9. Das Restaurant empfehle ich Ihnen zu 💯 Prozent Top Reastaurant. 10. Viel Spaß dort 👍🏻.

Large portions, friendly staff, fair prices, authentic ambience. Would love to come back.

We were here for the second time and would love to come back. Food is very tasty, staff is nice and friendly, what more could you want

It was very pleasant not to have a “normal kitchen”. Very attentive service. Good demand.

On the last day of school we went to “Masa”, a charming Afghan restaurant with an inviting outdoor area and friendly service. After our usual meeting point changed its opening times, “Masa” offered a welcome alternative. I chose kofta with tomato sauce and yogurt with rice for 10.90 euros from the lunch menu. The kofta were tasty, although I would have liked a little more sauce and yogurt and a little less rice. The rice was perfectly cooked, although the description “white baked” on the menu was initially confusing. My companion enjoyed the mantu, Afghan dumplings, and a vegetable soup with noodles and yogurt, which he ordered as “Asha”. He also praised the leg of lamb with brown baked rice and raisins. My drink, a Berliner Weisse, was exactly what I expected. The dessert, “Ferni”, an Afghan pudding with almond slivers for 6.90 euros, was also a creamy, slightly exotically spiced dream. I'm looking forward to new adventures and further visits to "Masa", which will certainly follow. A recommended restaurant for anyone who wants to enjoy authentic Afghan cuisine in a pleasant atmosphere.”

My food wouldn't be replaced, even though I clearly said I didn't like it. The staff was unfriendly.

Very nice restaurant. Very rarely have I found a kitchen that reflects my homeland in such a way. The food tasted excellent and was well priced. You don't even need to talk about the aesthetic ambience - it's very nice, you get the feeling of being at home. Would recommend every Afghan or anyone interested in eating there. Very nice💝

Very nice service, very pleasantly varied and also adapted food selection, which I see as positive. This means that as a “tourist” I am not overwhelmed and real specialties are prepared for connoisseurs. We'd love to come back.

Nice atmosphere in a central but quiet area. Delicious food for vegans and vegetarians too. Very good service and attentive staff. Gladly again!

I was really looking forward to visiting here and we wanted to try something new on our wedding day. At first glance it was a beautiful courtyard and I also found the restaurant to be very cozy and appealing. Unfortunately, this positive impression was not confirmed by either the food or the service. The waiter was very wooden and a bit confused, but still friendly. However, I was very disappointed with my meal; I had ordered a vegetarian dish, mushrooms with salad and homemade bread. The mushrooms were hardly seasoned, the salad was a mixed salad from a package (like you get in the supermarket) and the dressing also tasted very much like ready-made dressing. My bread was completely forgotten at the beginning, but it couldn't save the whole thing. It's a real shame, but we probably won't come again.

We actually wanted to eat there two weeks in advance. But we were stupidly put off by the unpleasant passage. This time we went further and were very pleasantly surprised by the courtyard lovingly planted with roses. The restaurant's décor is also original. Likewise the food (I had

Unfortunately I am very disappointed. The food looked so great and delicious... I had far too little sauce and the meat was very dry... I expected more in terms of taste... but the rice was super tasty... the ambience is quite ok.. . the restaurant is clean... the service was not friendly but not unfriendly either, little attention was paid to you even when paying...

It was OK. The WOW effect was missing.

Very tasty, good advice on choosing and friendly service

The food is so incredibly delicious, the staff is very nice and the atmosphere is extremely pleasant. Sitting outside in summer feels like a little vacation in the south at Masa - one of the nicest restaurants in all of Hanover.

Authentic Afghan food- Delicious. Friendly staff.

Delicious food Friendly service Large outdoor area Prices okay

Very authentic Afghan food. Important because there are differences between Persian and Afghan cuisine. I've been there so many times. With Afghans and non-Afghans and it was always very tasty. Thanks.

This is the 6th time I've eaten here. The delicious dishes combined with oriental spices. I'll be back

The food was really good. It's a shame that it no longer looks like an oriental restaurant

Food: ok Service: Wait 30 minutes after ordering and then “sold out” what does that mean? A total of 53 minutes until the dish arrives... Atmosphere: interior is nice and cozy

Everything is just perfect! Delicious food, friendly staff and nice atmosphere

After the Corona break, the Masa restaurant has risen back to its former heights. The menu is again diverse with delicious original Afghan dishes. One of the best restaurants in Hanover.

Slightly hidden at the end of an alley but VERY nice restaurant. Food was great. Service extremely friendly and prices absolutely justified. Price performance is definitely right here! I would like to come back

I really didn't like it. The food is not tasty, not fresh, small portions.

Very tasty food and nice service! But a reservation is definitely recommended

It was busy, so we waited a relatively long time. Food tastes good, but heavily seasoned. Drink prices are too high. Overall, recommended if you want to try something new

We had a lovely evening at Masa Restaurant. The food tasted really good.

WOW! Unfassbar (my word of the day!) !!! Just spent a couple of hours in Hannover and looked a place to eat and this turned out to be THE PLACE! We tried Makkaroni, Dogh, Daal, a traditional Afghan stew and salad with dolmas. Highly recommended to anyone passing by Hannover Mitte or even locals if they haven't tried it yet. Coming back soon for sure! 😃🙌🏽

Delicious food and nice atmosphere

The food is small for the price

The atmosphere is nice, Afghan style, with seats to sit on the carpet. The a la carte Vorspeisen snacks all tasted good, but Palau's lamb leg was a bit dry. But what I can’t understand the most is the bill we finally received! There were eight of us in total. Three of us ordered the Palau lamb leg rice for 18.9 euros. The remaining five each ordered a separate plate of rice, and then told the waiter that they wanted to order separate snacks and put them on a big plate that can be shared by everyone. inside (pictured). But I didn’t expect that if I ordered rice alone, it would cost 14.9! ! This is just a plate of rice without any side dishes. The rice with lamb leg and side dishes is only 18.9, but a separate plate of rice costs 14.9. I think it is really too much. . . (Don’t ask me why I didn’t raise an objection at the time. My friend was very nervous and left after paying the money. It took a few days before he realized something was wrong.)

Amazing food. Good place overall.

Great, slightly hidden restaurant. We haven't been able to do anything with Afghan cuisine until now - but we're now thrilled. Fresh, spicy and delicious. A waitress initially forgot our order, which was then quickly compensated for by another waiter. If you want to try something new, this is definitely the right place for you! Would love to come back.

Everything was nice except the place was so warm

The food was completely delicious and the service excellent. The price matched the taste of the food and the decoration of the store makes the restaurant a cozy place for entertainment.

I always enjoy eating at Masa. Everything is simply delicious. We usually order rice with several small things. These are served on a large platter so everyone can try everything. The drinks are also delicious. After dinner there is always a cocktail. Sometimes the service is a bit slow and it takes a while before you can place your order or receive your drinks. But the food is great. Especially the hummus. The beautiful outdoor terrace is green and invites you to eat. There are also places inside where you can sit on the floor and eat in a traditional way.

Very tasty 😋 and very nice waitress

Very tasty food in a great atmosphere. It was deliciously seasoned and a real treat. I think the small things category is particularly great. So you can try and share a lot of things.

The ambiance was good but the food little salty couldn't notice the real taste of food b

Delicious food in a relaxed atmosphere. Our expectations were met. If necessary, offer pictures of the food!

The restaurant is somewhat hidden on Georgstrasse. It was pretty full but we still managed to get a seat. You feel comfortable there. However, it took a long time for a service person to take our order. We were overlooked before. We had to make ourselves noticed. But the food was very tasty and very cheap. The rest of the service was also okay.

Very tasty food at fair prices. I was really very impressed and would love to come back.

Very nice service and the food is very tasty

The best Afghanistan restaurant in town. Highly recommended the Lamb Leg (“Kabili”) and the grilled eggplant.

I've been here several times and the food and drinks have always been great. There are also nice outdoor seating options in summer.

I tried pilov qabuli, very tasty and fresh food ! Staff very kind and friendly! A lot of people were inside 2 big buildings, I was surprised from this amount of visitors! very clean restaurant with a good traditional afganian style!

Das Essen ist super schmackhaft. Die Portionen sind reichhaltig. Die Auswahl ist super und man bekommt einen tollen Einblick in die afghanische Küche.

Wie immer dort sehr entspannend, diesmal nicht auf einem Stuhl sondern auf dem Boden gesessen, sehr chillig. Cocktail auch sehr lecker...

An der Tür wird darauf hingewiesen, dass Kartenzahlungen erst ab einem Betrag von 10 € akzeptiert werden. Ich finde diese Einschränkung in einer Zeit, in der bargeldlose Zahlungen weit verbreitet sind, nicht angemessen.

Super lecker und reichhaltig. Sehr aufmerksamer Service.

Wir gehen seit vielen Jahren hier zum Mittagessen, die Qualität ist geblieben aber leider wird die Kabili Lammkeule immer kleiner. Freundlichkeit wie immer, auch wenn man merkt das seit vielen Jahren der Zwang von außerhalb auf einmal zum Verschleiern geführt hat. Eine schöne Gaststätte die man mal besuchen sollte.

Ein sehr gemütlicher und authentischer Ort. Das Essen hat mir sehr gut gefallen , besonders in Kabili. Der Service ist auch auf der Höhe, passt immer und fragt, ob uns alles gefallen hat. Eine kleine Auswahl an Desserts, aber das ist kein Problem. Die Preise sind niedrig und die Portionen sind groß. Wenn Sie sehr hungrig sind, können Sie eine Portion essen. P.S. Bestellen Sie unbedingt Masa-Tee

Ein super Essen, nette Bedienund

Das Essen, besonders das Aschak und Mansa können wir sehr empfehlen. Auch das personal war super freundlich. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!!!

Nach zwischenzeitlichen Problemen unter anderer Führung nun unter der Regie der langjährigen Köchin, selbst Afghanin und Gastgeberin aus Leidenschaft. Familiär, freundlich, gutes afghanisches Essen und leckere Cocktails in toller Atmosphäre. Wir haben uns (wieder) wohl gefühlt!

war sehr gemütlich und schön Atmosphäre supers essen und hat es lecker geschmeckt 👍👍‼️🙏🧿🫶❤️

Sehr lecker, netter Service. Gerne wieder

Gemütlich. Leckeres Essen. Eine gemischte Platte mit mehreren auf den Kissen auf dem Boden sitzend Essen, das ist super. Leckerer mangolassi.

Köstliche Speisen, leckerer cocktail, guter Tee.

.Afghanische Küche ist definitiv eine besondere Erfahrung. Wir haben uns eine große Platte mit den so genannten Kleinigkeiten zusammengestellt und waren sehr angetan und gesättigt.

Schöner Laden, nett aber nicht kitschig eingerichtet. Das Essen war gut, der Service war ok

Доброго дня! Були в вашому закладі минулими вихідними. Провели гарно час. Їжа була смачна,гарно сервірована. Ми з подругами сиділи за столиком у зручних кріслах,але була можливість сидіти на килимі. Офіціант допомогла нам з вибором страви і ми залишилися задоволені. Також хочу відмітити,що влітку відкритий майданчик засаджений кущами троянд і прикрашений різнокольоровими ліхтариками,гадаю там дуже красиво. Офіціанти часто підходили,перепитували, чи все добре. Сподобалось,що за гостями дуже ретельно прибирають,для того ,щоб нові гості сіли за чистий стіл. Вечір п'ятниці заклад був повний. Ми замовили велику порцію їжі на чотирьох,двічі неалкогольний коктейль,алкогольний коктейль,чотири келихи вина,дві порції смачного шоколадного тортика,каву і все це обійшлося 105€. Вважаю,це норм ціна Дякуємо

Ich war bereits zum dritten Mal im „Masa“. Das Essen ist unglaublich lecker, die Portionen reichlich. Wer möchte, kann sich die Schuhe ausziehen und auf den Orient-Teppichen im Schneidersitz vor einem flachen Tisch Platz nehmen - Dies sollte man am Wochenende jedoch unbedingt vorab reservieren. Einen Punkt Abzug, da das Servicepersonal etwas aufgeweckter sein könnte… dies tut der Sache aber keinen Abbruch. Ich würde meinen Freunden dieses Restaurant als etwas besonderes empfehlen und komme sehr gerne wieder. PS: Zum Essen unbedingt ein Schälchen von der scharfen, grünen Soße mitbestellen 😉

Sehr gutes Essen, sehr guter und schneller Service. Ordentliche Portionen ,angemessene Preise, Gerne wieder.....

Afghane hier. Das Essen ist superduper und der Service schnell und aufmerksam. Die Cocktails sind auch nicht schlecht. Ich habe noch nie im Leben eine Person getroffen, der Qabeli nicht schmeckt. Wer mal da war, kommt wieder 😋

Das Masa ist eine Oase in der Innenstadt! Ich liebe es dort zu essen! Es schmeckt gut und ist preislich in einem guten Rahmen. Im Sommer kann man in dem schönen Innenhof sitzen und drinnen gibt es reichlich Platz auch für größere Runden. Außerdem kann man in einer Ecke auf dem Boden sitzen. Man sollte aber abends besser reservieren.
